Ok. I am an iPhone and Android developer. Here is one of the best free resources in the world for learning all you need to start programming for iPhone.

Apps are largely made in Objective C programming language.
A slightly sophisticated version of this is called C++, which is the most common language for the platform.

You should not attempt to learn on of these straight off the bat.
You should start with something like python.

Then graduate up from there.

So where do you learn python? Well you can take a coarse in it form stanford uni on iTunes U [URL="http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/mit.edu.2394447485.02394447490

or you could just learn Javascript from

and then apply your web scripting knowledge to creating basic apps using one of the many frameworks available - I've a blog post here: http://bit.ly/a7ynIJ

but yes I'm learning Python at the moment, One hell of a language (I'm converting from PHP and I really like Python so far)

I just did them in straight Objective C and Objective-C++, once you've got the OO languages (scoping and exactly how they handle reference/value passing) nailed they're pretty similar.
